An Iowa City couple still have the green light to build a house that would resemble Kinnick Stadium after a city board split on whether to allow the structure in a residential neighborhood.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that the Iowa City Board of Adjustment voted 2-2 Friday on an appeal from the neighborhood association, which is seeking to keep the 7,500-square-foot structure from being built. One board member who has spoken out against the house recused herself from the vote.

The tie leaves the city's earlier approval granting a building permit for the house unchanged.
